Stunning hotel in a great location. My room was amazing and very comfortable. The recent renovations have been carried out to a very high standard. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Absolutely nothing!

Lovely redevelopment. Still work to be done especially to the rear of the property where we looked onto (I suspect there was a need to have the hotel opened for the summer months to recoup some costs). It didn’t detract from our experience. Outer stairwells and fencing around the hotel are old and rusted and still work in progress. Lots of garden ground not yet landscaped. Lovely putting green (artificial grass- but very good quality)- this needs swept every day because of the bird poo that is on it. It will be interesting to return next year to see if further work has been carried out. It’s not yet on a par with sister hotels in St Andrews and North Berwick (I’ve stayed in both). That said, the rooms were lovely , beautiful bathroom and comfortable beds with crisp white linen. Breakfasts were great, lovely fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, pastries, smoked salmon plus other hot options served in a lovely, bright dining room. . Communal lounge areas done really well, superb billiard table and relaxed bar area. Super dog friendly hotel too and kind and attentive staff. Will definitely return and thoroughly recommend.

It’s a lovely property - great location. Just not fully completed yet - but once finished I’m sure it will be beautiful.

We were treated SO well at this exquisite property! We stayed at several hotels in Scotland and this was our favorite. At check-in, Gabriel was super accommodating and warm. We walked to the beach, then to the Royal Donoch golf course, and on into town. But we dined back at our hotel because the restaurant was so pretty. We LOVED the Skink Fish Chowder and Salmon with chorizo Orzo. Sticky toffee pudding was decadent! Our room had a fabulous view and the decor was exquisite. Bathroom was large, with great pressure and lots of HOT water. The robes/slippers were high quality. Super clean. Breakfast the next morning was unbelievable: they offered a generous buffet PLUS menu options like eggs benedict. The dining room has elegant furnishings, great views and ultra-high ceilings. I worked it off in the exercise room which had ALL of the options: Pelaton machines, treadmills, free weights and stationary machines! That was also very clean and stocked with bottles of sparkling water and clean towels. We even golfed on their putting green with clubs they loaned us. (The elevator worked great. I saw some reviews saying it didn't but it was in perfect order during our entire weekend.)

The putting green had some bird poop on it, but they cleaned it as soon as we asked them to. This place is nearly perfect.

The Hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous entrance to all the lovely cosy lounges, the dining room, the bar, the beautiful rooms, but it’s the staff who make it. Special shoutout to Stephen for his wonderful welcome, special thoughtful touches and his generosity, he made our stay so special. The lady at breakfast who welcomes you with a smile each morning, the local lads who wait table, the fantastic barman, all contributed to the most relaxing and restful stay. The proximity to the golf course and beach is wonderful. Stay here, you’ll feel special!

beautiful five star hotel - stunning room and ensuite and views - breakfast was good but breakfast service bit lacking

breakfast was good but service bit lacking in that the two young lads at the breakfast reception desk were far more interested in having a chat than attending the needs of guests!! I had to stand up and call for attention!! After waiting 10 mins to catch their eye to no avail!!

This was our second stay at Dornoch Station and it was just as good as the first! The hotel oozes comfort and quality and the king room we stayed in was enormous, with a seating area and a large bathroom, with robes and slippers. The bar area is lovely and cozy and the full size snooker table is a great addition. The breakfasts are fantastic, with all of the food on offer being fresh and of the highest quality. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect, with beautiful views towards Royal Dornoch Golf Course and the beach and sea beyond. It's also just a short walk into Dornoch itself.

Whilst the hotel is beautiful, the price of the food and drink is off-putting (the drink especially). The bedrooms can also be quite dark, even with all of the lights on, and the bedside cabinets have fake doors which is rather annoying as they take up a lot of space and yet have no useable space for people to put their stuff. The wee shower gel/shampoo/conditioners that they provide in the bathrooms aren't great (I think they should consider doing what other hotel brands like Hilton are now doing and put larger refillable containers in the bathroom area). It would also be useful to have a mirror near to a plug for anyone who wants to see what they are doing when they are trying to dry their hair! But these are just minor points.

Breakfast was great good buffet selection or you could choose from the menu. The refurbished hotel was stylish and yet fitted into the general Dornoch feel. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

I our small 3rd floor bedroom there was a lack of storage and the drawers on the writing table and the bedside tables were sealed shut leaving only a small wardrobe with space for hanging only a few coats dresses etc but no drawers for smaller clothes items. Nice complementary coffee pod machine and choice of tea. Evening meal was nice but I think a little overpriced and it may struggle to compete with the local restaurants to attract local custom once the novelty of a new venue wanes.

I was so pleased to see this building so nicely renovated with life in its corridors again. It’s clearly geared to the US market, but it’s still very nicely done - warm and comfortable. The staff, especially Andrew on reception and Danny in the bar, were exceptional and hugely helpful.

The banquet seating in the middle of the dinning room. Too close together and no privacy. I would always try to take a table at the window or on the edge of the room.

After All the long hours of travel, we were greeted by Bob Rogers and Stephen, with a very warm welcome and made to feel the utmost comfort immediately. The hotel was clean, charming and beautiful. We were made to feel right at home. The staff, Laura and Sophie were extremely courteous, professional and very accommodating to all our needs. Breakfast was absolutely splendid, the food was incredible and Marios was lovely. We can not wait to return to The Dornoch Station!

We had hoped that since we had called ahead of time before we left the US for our travel and arrival, that our room would NOT HAVE BEEN at the very back of the hotel near where the construction was happening. Every morning we awoke to the sound of trucks and people getting to work & talking. We had just hoped for our "Anniversary/birthday" trip we would have had a room with a better view.
